The rumours around town are he had a barney with his missus and climbed up to throw himself off.
Wether he jumped or fell we’ll probably never know

(literally two blocks away)

I didn’t know we had blocks in the UK…. how big is that?

OT but I’m 48 and even as a kid used the term block ie just taking dog around the block.
So before American influences.
Could just be a North East thing🤷🏻‍♂️

Using that link I can see loads!?

Just under 50% and it’s a 35 year old ford escort 😬

I think it would take my dog two weeks before he realises I was gone

Love my On-One 456 Evo Carbon. Bit battered but wouldn’t change it for the world.

There you go

It’s the finance company’s fault for not telling her she couldn’t afford it…..

For the young’uns, you can’t renew online unfortunately, as they still need someone to sign the photo as a true likeness.

My youngest was 12 in April and I’ve just renewed his online, got his new one within two weeks. £49 and painless, the hardest part was trying to take his photo without him laughing!

If you’re going in the summer hols then you don’t need to renew yours yet. EU don’t need 6 months on it like the good ol’ US of A do.

USA don’t require 6 months if you have a UK passport

45K? Factory worker? Earning more than some graduates.

I think this comment shows a misunderstanding about modern manufacturing. Much factory work is not low skilled stupid work. I am sure the wages vary across the site but in general modern manufacturing is a skilled job. Many operators are also now performing some be maintenance jobs on their machines and electrical and mechanical staff are swapped across more lines. In addition to this is shift work (plus overtime) and the fact that production environment is although much better than 50 years ago, is still not that nice a place to work. A fair chunk of pressure and a noisy hectic environment.

Each one of these facts results in a uplift of washes. In addition for manufacturing production is king. Staff retention is very important as a line working at a slower rate or downtime can be coating mega money per min. Pay a little more, get people to commit. Keep the lines running with high efficiency.

Having worked on the NISSAN production line for the last 20 years, I concur!

Edit: I don’t earn £45k a year!

It’s amazing what people will take if it’s free!

Name and shame!

Wouldn’t call a 30sec form exactly ‘chasing down’

As stated, I was offering a solution to a later poster who’d been knocked back by the manufacturer, told to contact a retailer who may or may not be able/willing to help, and was asking for advice on the forum.

Apologies my bad.

Mine was the buckle with the built in magnet to hold bladder tube. Not sure if these are readily available?

Quick update, replacement buckles arrived in post this morning 👌🏻

Life’s too short to be chasing down buckles on warranty. Lots of slotted replacement buckles on eBay, or field repair items like here, that don’t require any strap stitching:

Wouldn’t call a 30sec form exactly ‘chasing down’

Ahh yes. “Arrl hev a Hot Durg and twa large burttls uv Smirnuf ice.” As heard uttered by one dressing gown and slipper-clad being in the queue for the garage night pay recently. Not been in the cricket club.

Only ever been in CC for “do’s” you could always walk into shiney row…….then again maybe not!

We live on a 300 home estate in the north east. They claimed that at the end of the road they were going to build a small amenity area with a pub, some shops and possibly a doctors. Never happened, not going to happen. It’s a dormitory of plasterboard tents on reclaimed contaminated land made to look like a country park.

Just walk to the service station or tramp across the fields to the cricket club, what more do you want😂😂

Great if you love sailors! Clyde submarine base is just along the road.
Spent most of the late 80’s early 90’s getting p****d in the burgh before going underwater for a months. Probably change a lot since I was there or maybe not!

tried to post image, failed 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sorry ssbnreso, you’re bang out of order with that comment

No need to apologise

Not much help but 6’3” on a XL

he’s got 3 of these seemingly

My biggest pet hate are those eejits with cars that have automatic raising spoilers like TT’s and Audi A7’s, who mod them so they’re up all the time. I struggle to think of many more things that are so sad and pathetic.

No mod required, there’s a button to press to raise it and keep it raised

Had a couple like this, “please close return and we’ll send another” never close and just continue with return. Obviously no help to yourself :-/

Going in 3 weeks from Saturday to Wednesday. Wife and two kids. Cost us just short of 3k 😬

leeds to Dublin to jfk with air Lingus and a hotel in Times Square.

resigned my self to spending a fortune but proberly be our last family holiday with the eldest before oh goes into RAF so worth it……I think!

Can’t do any damage reading codes. Petrol ones suffer from high pressure fuel pump (hpfp) not sure if diesels have one. Currently and only ever had petrol Cooper s.

Got pulled over by police (tail light out). Officer was my ex oppo from my first submarine in Royal Navy. Even stranger he was from down south ( this was in north east) he’d meet a girl from Newcastle and left Navy to join Northumbria police. Two weeks later bumped into him again in town centre when he was off duty. Haven’t seen him again in the last 20years!

My Cooper S clubman does it as standard, has a ‘sport’ button which makes it do it more often.

I work week of days, week of lates then week of nights starting Sunday night finishing Friday morning.
Get up Sunday morning and stay up all day/night till Monday morning, sets me up for week. Get to bed about 9:30, up at 4pm.
Can sleep all night and not need a pee, always bursting on night shift!
46 and being doing it 19 years.
You’ll get used to it…….eventually :-/

Geordiemick00 if his BIL helps out?

Local PC to me (NE England) charges £59 for a two part frame. That’s stripped, threads masked and bunged. Top job 3 day turn around.

Also looking at this for my 17 year old. Wouldn’t even give us a price to add him on to mine or the wife’s policies!
